Pros

Its difficult to classify, as we were acquired by BAE and the cultural shocks from a small company to a large one were tough to handle. They have infinite resources, but you have to convince them to use them.

Cons

Layers upon layers of management kill creativity and can lock you in to doing one thing over and over instead of branching out to try new things or remain cutting edge
